GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(continued)

5.2 Receipt Nominations and Allocation Methodology (continued)

(d) Scheduling: Unless the Confirming Parties have agreed to

Confirmation by Exception, Transporter will initiate

confirmation of a receipt nomination from an Operator and

Operator shall provide such confirmation in accordance with

the above-specified deadlines. Transporter will not be

obligated to schedule a nomination if the Operator does not

confirm such nomination in time to allow Transporter to

schedule it within the time requested by Shipper.

Nominations received after the nomination deadline(s) for a

given period will be scheduled after the nominations

received before such deadline(s). If a receipt nomination

is rejected pursuant to this Section 5.2, Shipper shall

resubmit such receipt nominations on a prospective basis in

a conforming manner. After scheduling a nomination,

Transporter will make notification of scheduled quantities

available to parties as is necessary. Transporter shall

have no obligation to schedule nominations which are not

properly submitted or do not have consistent and verifiable

corresponding delivery nominations (except for Rate

Schedule NNTS). In situations where Transporter cannot

schedule all receipt nominations submitted, either

systemwide, in a particular Pooling Area or on a particular

segment of its system, due to capacity or operational

constraints, Transporter will schedule nominations in a

manner that tends to alleviate the operational or capacity

constraints and maximizes total throughput on Transporter's

system, utilizing the priorities set forth below, subject

to other terms and conditions of this Tariff. Transporter

will make scheduled quantities available electronically to

Shipper, Operator,
